“Softball is kind of a part of the DNA of Asbury Park,” Hockenjos said. “It’s even tied to music.”

Members of the E Street Band used to play music industry teams as the “E Street Kings.”

The upcoming tournament will support the Asbury Park Music Foundation’s youth initiative program “Music Saved My Life” programs, which includes a permanent music curriculum for Hope Academy Charter School; a Hip-Hop Institute in the Boys & Girls Club of Monmouth County and music for the Asbury Park Summer Recreation Camp. Last year, the Foundation raised nearly $60,000 to support funding of these programs.

The day will feature live music by the Lakehouse Music Academy Pros and other local talent, a 50/50 raffle and gift auction and food donated by Café Mumfords.

There will also be a crowd source funding campaign kickoff for the Asbury Park Music Foundation, which is moving from its current location on Cookman Avenue to the Lakehouse Music Academy on Lake Avenue.
